The Thanksgiving after Amanda's grandmother dies is a difficult one for everyone because she was at the heart of their holiday celebration. Old traditions are joined by new ones when the family attempts to re-create all of Bubbe's recipes and new friends help them cope. The feeling of warmth generated by this family story is captured by the richly done realistic paintings.
